Digital Identity from Vienna

If motivating change in a single organization is difficult, achieving transformation in an ecosystem is verging on impossible. And yet, this is exactly what is happening across multiple market sectors with the measured adoption of SSI technologies. And yet transformation of entire market sectors is what is needed in order to realize the security gains, operational efficiencies, and new product offerings that this technology promises.

In this panel session we will have representation from three different market sectors global supply chains, energy, and global trade. All these market sectors are extremely complex, with thousands of actors, and complex regulations.

Our panelists are:
Phil Archer, Web Solutions Director, GS1 Global
Dr. Jens Strücker, Professor for Information Systems and Digital Energy Management at the University of Bayreuth
Sin Yong Loh, Director Trade Trust, IMDA Singapore

From the initial session on Digital Wallets, it became clear, that outside the crypto world there is still a lot of confusion of what a Digital Wallet is. Questions around what are critical operating assumptions (and why)? What is the difference between a crypto wallet and an identity wallet? Do they overlap? And what about devices? Increasingly SSI technologies are moving into the IoT sector, how do wallets fit into these environments? And underlying all of these wallets, how are the private keys protected. There are secure elements, trusted execution environments, hardware security modules, which is used where and when? Are there critical design considerations when building a wallet around key storage?

Our panelists are:
Tom Fuerstner, Protocol Designer, Riddle Network
Xinxin Fan, Head of Cryptography, IoTex Network
Andras Vilmos, Managing Director Safe Pay Systems
